Roy Adaptation Model-Based Prenatal Education in Hypertensive Pregnant Women

This study aims to evaluate the effect of Roy Adaptation Model-based prenatal education on perceived stress and quality of life in pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Pregnant women with hypertensive disorders who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive prenatal education based on the Roy Adaptation Model in two face-to-face sessions, one week apart. The control group will receive routine antenatal care. Blood pressure monitoring will be recommended for participants in both groups. Perceived stress and quality of life will be assessed before the education and after the intervention. The study will investigate whether Roy Adaptation Model-based prenatal education helps reduce perceived stress and improve quality of life among pregnant women with hypertensive disorders.
